We love this place. Great service all around. Chilled out staff. It only has 3 1/2 stars and that's a shame. This is the best place I've eaten in town. We love it! read more

Good food. Fresh salad. Good steak. Menu had a lot of choices, including Mexican food. Looked to be the best choice in the area.

Very tasty stake and tacos; friendly staff and nice place. The only complain is a super spicy salsa but I'm sure it's a plus for some. read more

I think that the food is OK, however my husband got food poising and refuses to go back. Prices are a little high.

Been here a handful of times and it's been good every time. The prices represent good value for the most part. The steaks are maybe a dollar or two more than what I would expect for what I'm getting, but it's not a big deal. The chicken fried steak is a gonga deal. If you live on the far east side of Tucson (Vail pretty much), it's probably worth the drive. If you're passing through around dinner time, it's worth checking out for sure. read more

Not sure why this place has high reviews. That makes me feel sorry for those people tastebuds because they may have never tasted delicious food before. The fried pickles were good. Everything else was edible, and the meals were only consumed because we hadn't eaten all day due to traveling. The food actually reminds me of frozen food heated up. Not worth the money and it is pricey, especially for what they serve. Save your money and appetite for another restaurant. read more

Went here on the recommendation of the hotel clerk after a very long day of driving. It was 8:30p and many of the local places were closed. This place is a gem. Not much to look at but friendly staff and clean. The steaks are their specialty and we were not disappointed. Cooked to order, tender and perfectly seasoned. The salad was fresh and the cheesy potato soup was so good we wanted to ask for more. This is a great find in a small Arizona town. read more

Another so-so Mexican restaurant with some American fare mixed in. Not really impressive or unique, and definitely over-priced. Again, people are crammed in elbow-to-elbow making conversations difficult. Been here twice as locals and we still can't quote a single meal or menu item we were impressed with. That says a lot right there. If it's just food we'll go fast food in a drive thru, and that's where this place should be. It's just not extraordinary by any means. We definitely do not intend to take out of state family to these routine menu operations. There are too many varieties available at other more creative restaurants to enjoy, so this restaurant looks great from the outside, but lacks terribly inside. read more

Loved this bar. Came into town to RV for a long weekend and looked for a nice bar/restaurant within walking distance. The place is a total dive (old school decor, no flow, dark) but that's what we like. The customer service was superb. We were greeted right away at one of the high top tables at the bar and the bartender, Emily, was on point. Friendly, attentive - without being overbearing- and made amazing cocktails. The boneless chicken wings were hot and tasty. Highly recommend! read more

Fresh baked rolls and homemade beans before our dinner were awesome! My son made himself two "bean sandwiches" and enjoyed it tremendously. BBQ boneless wings were very tasty. And, the homemade apple pie and Mexican chocolate cake really ended the night well. The waitress and hostess were friendly even at closing time. Great stop on our road trip!!! read more

Our waitress Jules was terrific!! Attentive and informative. The establishment was clean and decorated nicely. Food was good basic home cooking. This place comes highly recommended as I have eaten down the road at some "horseshoe " place and that down right SUCKED. This place was really good for a Benson establishment. I was impressed and satisfied! read more

I don't understand the complaints about the prices. The cost of the items were reasonable. And the complimentary rolls were nice, too. To top it off, it was happy hour all day, so if you like to drink come here on Sunday. We ordered pasta dishes, and they were a little bland. The chicken breast meat that came with them, though, was very moist and tasty. The service was very good. read more

Bread Roles - Poor White tasteless dough, with no discernible crust. Green Chili - Good Green chili taste with shreds of chicken. Fried Calamari - Average Fish stick shaped breaded squid meat. These must have been huge animals to get such large symmetrical looking chunks cut out of their carcasses. Ribs - Average I thought these ribs were dry, but possibly appealing to some diners. Wait staff - Good read more

Passing thru Benson I stopped here on a whim. Sure glad I did! Excellent food and service. If I lived here I would be a regular!

traveling across country the restaurant options become extremely limited and the consistency of places becomes questionable so I always whenever try to defer to YELP. And in similar fashion the reviews were on point, the complementary beans and bread were great! We had the ribs which were average at best but the steak and sweet potato fries were awesome. If you order a salad beware the add hard boiled eggs, which is definitely not my style. Dessert was okay but definitely lacked a lot of presentation. Overall the food was cooked and not reheated, making this place a solid three. Signing off, Traveling is hard use yelp read more

As a returning resident to the Benson area, we were not surprised to see a new name on the building when we drove through town. Having seen mixed reviews and feeling adventurous we decided to give it a shot. My wife and I both ordered the green chili burger. I ordered soup. The green chili soup was good, the burger was large and filling. The service was excellent. Prices are what I would expect from something of this caliber. Food was filling and ok. read more

Hubby's 8 oz steak was very good! ($15.99) (He let me have a bite!). The ribs I ordered were fine but what my hubby calls Blue hair ribs. (**But we just left BBQ country so we are spolied!) Mashed potatoes were pretty bland... even I thought they need some salt and gravy with them seemed ho-hum. The beans were great as was the green chili soup. Service was very good. Margaritas were perfect! Price wasnt cheap but for a nice steak it wasnt bad. read more

Any time I am in Benson, I go here for dinner. I love their Carne asada plate. Friendly service, with a really relaxed easy going homey feel to the place. read more

I was in Arizona for work and we stayed in Benson, I'm a huge fan of steak so of course this was on the top of my radar. The service was acceptable and the food was edible. That said the top sirloin had a lot more fat than is acceptable in my book and the salad had red onions which had I known about I would have asked to be left out. I'd probably go back but I'd also probably choose something else off the menu. read more

We drove down to Benson to take our 7yo grandson to Kartchner Caverns. For dinner we drove into town, with another restaurant in mind. They were closed so we ended up at Pablo's and what a happy ending for us! From the minute we walked in till we left the experience was great. The staff was all so friendly, and the food was amazing! Our grandson ordered chicken tenders and I definitely do not think they were frozen. They were big tenders, with great breading and perfectly fried. They came with a generous portion of French fries. My husband had the Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes and mixed veggies and everything tasted fresh and homemade. I enjoyed a delicious burger and fries. For dessert our grandson had carrot cake which was so good, and then we all shared Dutch apple pie with ice cream. Also tasty! My husband ordered two beers with his meal. So, three generous tasty meals, two beers and two desserts and our bill was about $58 before tip. Worth every penny! This is a small town restaurant with big town food. If you live near, are visiting, or passing through make this restaurant a stop! read more

Seated and waited for 20 min before ordering. The waitress finally came and said, "oh I'm sorry I didn't know you were here". The food we ordered was okay initially until about an hour later when I got food poisoning. I do not recommend. Service was no good, long wait and food that will make you deathly sick. read more

Stopped for the night in benson and asked the lady that was checking us in at the motel where a good place to eat was and she recommended this place ,needless to say we went there on her recommendations and I had the six ounce steak with the baked potato that was not baked it was micro baked! The steak was pretty tough piece of meat ,they did not have any chives ,the iced tea was good. The chicken salad that my wife ordered the chicken was rubbery and cold . We ate as much as we could stand hoping not to get sick . read more

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK! I know..it's a steakhouse but I come from Oklahoma where CFS is king and this was my absolute best ever! Ordered it medium rare (temp is offered as an option) and it melted in my mouth! The breading and gravy was so good! Oh and the staff was great!!! read more

Well, this place needs more reviews! The complimentary bread, butter & pintos are delish. They have a great early bird menu. I got the 6oz sirloin, loaded potato & house salad with blue cheese. It's the little things that impress like red onion & hard boiled egg in the house salad with plenty of carrots & tomatoes. The steak was neat & cooked to order. The baked potato loaded was huge with bacon, cheese, sour cream & butter. I was a happy camper! My husband had the koki fish, veggies & green chili soup. The green chili soup was one of the best soups ever! He liked his meal, loved the soup. We sat in the bar as we like to watch TV and chat up the staff who were lovely and extremely willing to please. It's right on the main drag through town so it will be easy to make a point of stopping in. Enjoy! read more

By far the worst food my husband and I have had in ages. His chicken fried steak was so chewy he had to spit out at least half of it and my pasta Alfredo had zero flavor (I am sure it came straight from the jar). Expensive dinner, no atmosphere, I actually felt like I was ripped off! read more

Stopped in to place a carry out order two hours before they closed and they advised us they couldn't do it because they had a large table and the cook was too busy. The place wasn't even full. Who in their right mind runs a business this way? Who declines service to someone? Would not recommend and will never return. read more

decent food, yummy french fries. Very limited drinks (Margarita's, a few wines and beer). The place is a bit "dark and dank". Overall, not bad for a small town restaurant. read more

Don't let this this simple establishment fool you. It is nothing short of amazing. My husband and I both had the Ribeye they were cooked to perfection. The salad was excellent. Fresh veggies. And great ranch dressing. The staff was friendly and the service was great. Would definitely go back. read more

Had dinner here on a recent trip (January 2014) with the wife. The wife is a vegetarian when we travel, otherwise a vegan. She told the staff this and they were very helpful and accommodating. Sure I have had much better meals, but the food here was good. The best thing here were the Ranch Beans! Next time I am in Benson, I am liable to stop in just for the beans. This is a locally owned and operated restaurant so please support it. read more

Sat down to eat, waitress offered drinks to my husband and I, and ignored my 2 yr old son. She walked away before I could order him a drink. When she came back with our 2 drinks, she left before I could again. After 10 mins of sitting there waiting for the waitress to come take our order, I decided to go up and ask for a water for him. She handed me a to go cup, no ice, no lid. I had to take my son outside to entertain him while we waited for service. Came back in 20 mins later, with no order put in. We walked up and asked how much for the drinks, and they said they were on the house because I think they finally realized their mistake. To top it all off, the lady who took or drink order, her friends came in shortly after us, and she sat them down, took their order, then sat down with them while they ate their food! We ended up going to subway, which was not much better. Disappointed, because my family is from there. But looks like I will NEVER be back to that town ever again. read more

I've been here for at least 6 dinners now and so far the food has been better than average. I'm dinging them one star for raising the tall beers since my first visit and we were there during Happy Hour! They do have Blue Moon and a few others on tap, plus a full bar with good margaritas. Try the steaks! read more

Very overpriced for the amount of food and quality of food that you get We ate there and my wife was deathly sick the rest of the night I would not recommend this place read more

Friendly staff. The restaurant advertised they took no reservations but they gave us reservations for a party of 10. The margaritas were excellent. The ribs were very tasty my husband's ribeye steak was ordered medium and was delicious very tender. Another friend at our table had the ribeye and ordered it medium rare, but it was way too rare for him. Another gal in our party had the chicken fajita and was not satisfied with it all she thought it was frozen chicken patty that was not very tasty it was not the fastest service so sit back enjoy your margarita read more

Way over priced for what you get, I asked for the sirloin steak 6 oz medium well to well done with just a touch of pink and they gave it to me cooked on one half while the other was red and bleeding. No flavor in the steak too. One thing that was awesome was the prickly pear margarita. Wouldn't go back anytime soon sorry. Plus our waitress seemed upset she had to work... read more

Meh. Just a simple diner with simple food. Service was slow. Saw someone eating their ribs, which they liked. We had Salisbury Steak. Meh. read more

Nothing too great about this place. Their steak was ok, their loaded backed potato needed way more toppings! For being one of the only restaurants in the town it was decent! Will I be coming again? Hmm not sure, probably not! Overall a 7 read more

Very friendly service. Limited bar. The New York strip was good.

We almost didn't come here based in the stars. That would have been a big mistake. Slow cooked ribs. Yes. Chocolate cake. So yes! ( and apparently our server made it) Everything else was good too. Servers were super nice but not in an obnoxious fake way. We may be back in the area someday. We would definitely come back to pablos! read more

There is a reason the place is empty on a Friday night at 6:30. We couldn't get into the Italian restaurant so here is where we ended up. Not the best steak I've had but I've had worse.. read more

Food is delicious. I had pork tacos. When you order tacos (3 tacos at 10.99) at a so called STEAKHOUSE you usually think you will get beans and rice in the side. Not at this place. They did serve whole pinto beans with rolls while being seated. But my plate came with THREE tacos and a garnish of lettuce with a couple limes. That's it. Won't return. I can go to a roach coach and get tacos just as good if not better for 1.50 each. I'm not a math major. But 11 bucks for three tacos. We're approaching 4 dollars for a four bite taco. A dollar a bite? Won't come Back! read more
